Photos of where I work

Here is a short photo tour of It's a Burl
These photos were taken when the weather was better than now.
I will post more photos as time allows.

This photo is our main gallery. The guys/gals that work here make furniture, carvings, boxes and other unusual things from the burl we get from around here.

They used to use this old tow truck to move logs and big burls around the wood yard. Now it is one of the many decorations around the place. Almost weekly someone tries to buy the truck. It has sentimental value to my boss so it will be here as long as he is.

This is the other gallery. It also has burl furniture and other wood items. In the summer a guy who does pottery works there making raku pottery. That's his pottery wheel in the doorway.

are you guys, like, Hobbits?
:-) way cool. Looks like a great place to work.

We've been called worse.
My boss is one of those old hippies that was making stuff from burl back in the 60's. Now he is almost 80 and still at it.
Most of the people here came from the cities looking for a simpler lifestyle. So the place is a mix of unusual people making unusual things out of unusual wood.
I will take some more photos to show you guys what I am talking about. You never know what these guys will come up with.
